The Kuhn Rikon Dual Slice Mandoline was the lowest rated among handheld mandolines in our test. As the blade is raised away from the slicing surface you can slice both when you push down and pull back up which cuts slicing time in half. However, the blade isn't sharp enough to pierce the outer skin of a tomato and for your efforts all you're left with is a pile of mush.
